I HAVE OWNED A 2006 NISSAN TITAN SINCE MARCH 17, 2006 AND HAVE HAD A SEVERE REAR AXLE LEAK TWO TIMES IN LESS THAN 32,000 MILES. THE FIRST LEAK WAS DUE TO A FAULTY LEFT SIDE AXLE SEAL AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. THE LATEST LEAK, WHICH WAS COMMUNICATING DIFFERENTIAL OIL OVER THE ENTIRE UNDERBELLY OF THE TRUCK INCLUDING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND REAR BRAKE ROTORS WAS DETERMINED TO BE A FAULTY PINION SEAL WHICH WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS WILL BE A RECURRING ISSUE THAT MAY HAVE POTENTIAL FOR FIRE OR UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION DUE TO OIL REACHING THE BRAKE ROTORS AND THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. *TR

I NOTICED OIL LEAKING FROM THE TRANSFER CASE. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO SANTA MONICA NISSAN FOR INSPECTION. DEALERSHIP VERIFIED THE TRANSFER CASE, LEFT AND RIGHT REAR AXLE SEALS LEAKING. DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING PARTS TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THIS IS AN ONGOING FAILURE FOR ALL YEAR MODEL NISSAN TITANS. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN AND BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR DRIVE AXLES LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID. I HAD THE FIRST PROBLEM HAPPEN AROUND NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR. MY RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE AXLE WAS LEAKING SO I REPLACED THE SEAL, SPACER, AND BEARING ON THAT ONE SIDE ONLY. NOW, MY LEFT SIDE AXLE STARTED TO LEAK AROUND APRIL. I STARTED TO NOTICE WHEN MY REAR BRAKES STARTED SMOKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE PARKED SINCE THEN AND IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING THE SEAL ON IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES START DURING NORMAL BRAKING. TRUCK MUST BE STOPPED, PUT IN PARK AND THE IGNITION SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED TO CORRECT BRAKING PROBLEM. THIS PROCESS SOMETIMES HAS TO BE REPEATED 2 TIMES BEFORE THE BRAKES PERFORM CORRECTLY. NISSAN WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM CANNOT BE FIXED AND THE INTERNAL COMPUTER SHOWS NO SIGN OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

REAR AXLE SEAL FAILURE. I NOTICED A DRIVER-SIDE REAR SEAL LEAK YESTERDAY (7/29/2009). REAR SEAL IS LEAKING DIFFERENTIAL FLUID OVER REAR BRAKES CAUSING HAZARD OF A BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE IS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN KING CAB XE 2X4 WITH APPROXIMATELY 25000 MI. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2/2007 FROM DEALER. VEHICLE HAS NEVER TOWED OR BEEN OFF-ROAD. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE WITH NO ABUSE HAVING A MECHANICAL FAILURE THAT COULD AFFECT A SAFETY FEATURE SUCH AS THE BRAKES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
BOUGHT 2006 NISSAN TITAN IN NOVEMBER 2006. IMMEDIATELY HAD VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. DEALER REFUSED TO CHANGE THE ROTORS. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN 3 TIMES. BY 15000 MILES, VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WHEN BRAKING WAS APPLIED. I HAD TO CHANGE THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS. AT 27000 MILES, THE SAME HAS OCCURRED. AGAIN, DEALER WOULD NOT CHANGED THE ROTORS. THEY TOLD ME HAD I CAME IN EARLIER, THEY WOULD HAVE. THIS IS THE 3RD SET OF FRONT ROTORS. VEHICLE SHAKES VIOLENTLY, AND SEEMS OUT OF CONTROL WHEN BRAKING IN TIGHT TURNS, SUCH AS ON/OFF RAMPS OF HIGHWAYS. *TR

WHEELS
NISSAN TITAN PICKUP TRUCK- 5 SPOKE WHEEL SPOKE CRACKED. AS THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE CRACK DID WORSEN AND CAUSED INCREASED VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED THE WHEEL FOR IMPACT DAMAGE, NON WAS OBSERVED. THE 18IN ALLOY WHEEL WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP. NO OTHER WHEEL COMPONENTS, SPOKES HAD ANY DAMAGE. THIS IS A MECHANIC BREAKDOWN OF A TIRE-WHEEL COMPONENT WHICH WILL CAUSE FATALITIES. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 NISSAN TITAN 4WD. LAST YEAR, AFTER A LONG TRIP, I TOOK IT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE, AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE REAR AXEL WAS LEAKING. THIS WAS IN JULY OF 2008, AND THE VEHICLE HAD 48,813 MILES ON IT. I GOT IT FIXED. THEN 11 MONTHS LATER, AGAIN AFTER A LONG TRIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS WAS IN JUNE OF 2009, AND THE VEHICLE HAD 63,914 MILES ON IT. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, AND APPARENTLY IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING TO A LARGE NUMBER OF NISSAN TITAN OWNERS. SOME ARE REPORTING THAT THE OIL IS LEAKING ONTO THE REAR BRAKES, CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. I HAVE NOT NOTICED THIS YET, BUT EACH TIME I CAUGHT MY LEAK EARLY. I HAVE ALSO READ THAT THE 2008 TITAN HAS A NEW REAR AXEL DESIGN THAT HAS ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY, NISSAN IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALREADY ADDRESSED THE ISSUE IN THE LATER MODELS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND NISSAN SHOULD RECALL THE EARLIER MODELS TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE TAKEN THIS AVENUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PHONE NUMBERS THEY GAVE ME ON MY RECALL NOTICE WENT NO WHERE. IT SEEMED THE 2 NUMBERS I DID CALL WERE NO HELP SO I AM RESORTING TO THE INTERNET PROCESS THEY OFFERED. IN MY NOTIFICATION IT STATES THAT THE NISSAN TITAN/ARMADA'S - 2005-2006 MODELS - THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FAN MOTOR HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS, THAT INADEQUATE WATER DRAINAGE ALLOWS MOISTURE TO BUILD-UP LEADING TO INCREASED TEMPERATURES IN THE MOTOR WHICH IN TURN COULD CAUSE WIRING TO MELT THE INSULATION AND OTHER PLASTIC COMPONENTS AND ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A FIRE. NOW THERE SOLUTION IS TO INSTALL A SPECIAL PROTECTOR KIT TO ELIMINATE A POTENTIAL FIRE TO OCCUR. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IF INDEED THESE HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPEC'S THEN THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED NOT MODIFIED. I WOULD HOPE THAT THEY WOULD STAND UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO THE RIGHT THING, AFTER ALL WE PAID A GOOD SUM OF MONEY FOR THESE VEHICLES AND EXPECT THESE ITEMS WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO BE HANDLED IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER, NOT BY SOME RINKY-DINKY PART INSTALLED TO GET THEM OUT OF THIS PROBLEM THAT HAS RISEN. ALL I ASK IS THAT THIS BE LOOKED INTO, I'M NOT SAYING THE PART THEY WISH AND HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED FROM MY INFORMATION ON VEHICLES ALREADY WOULDN'T SUFFICE BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I PAID FOR.

SUSPENSION:REAR
THE SPRING SHACKLES ON MY 2006 NISSAN TITAN ARE DEFECTIVE. ONE BROKE AT AROUND 25,000 MILES AND THE SECOND ONE AT AROUND 40,000 MILES. THE SPRINGS SHOT UP INTO THE BED OF MY TRUCK ON BOTH OCCASIONS DENTING THE BED AND CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOSE CONTROL. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO A NISSAN DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME AND HAD THE SHACKLE REPLACED AND I ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND INQUIRED IF I SHOULD HAVE THE OTHER SIDE REPLACED THEY SAID NO IT WASN'T COMMON THE SPRING SHACKLES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK, IF THEY HAD BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGHER SPEED I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 NISSAN TITAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE IS A BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE REAR LEAF SPRING. THE LEAF SPRING APPEARS TO BE FAULTY AND NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST BRACKET FAILED AND THE CONTACT BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND NO ASSISTANCE COULD BE PROVIDED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. NISSAN REDESIGNED A NEW PART, WHICH THE CONTACT STATED WAS A MUCH BETTER DESIGN THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRACKET WAS ALREADY REPAIRED. CURRENTLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE BRACKET NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 65,000. UPDATED 6/8/09 *CN UPDATED 06/11/09.*JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
LEFT REAR AXLE SEAL FAILED AT 29,900 MILES (1.5 YEARS AGO) AND ENTIRE REAR END/AXLE ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY NISSAN DEALERSHIP. NOW HAVE DRIVEN 48,000 AND THE REPLACEMENT AXLE SEAL ON THE LEFT SIDE (SAME AS BEFORE) HAS STARTED LEAKING AND MUST BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO SUSPENSION MODIFICATIONS TO THIS VEHICLE AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR TOWING OR ANY TYPE. REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKS AND CAN CAUSE FAILURE OF REAR END AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT FROM SUDDEN STOP CAUSED BY AXLE LOCKING UP. REAR DIFFERENTIAL FLUID ALSO LEAKS ON REAL BRAKE ROTORS AND EMERGENCY BRAKES AND COULD CAUSE BRAKE FAILURE. SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS OF THIS SAME FAILURE CAN BE FOUND ONLINE AND IT APPEARS TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE (2006 NISSAN TITAN). *TR
